Forever by Pete Hamill

3.0

This book was not what I was expecting! The premise is that there is a man who can live forever as long as he stays on the island of Manhattan. However, a substantial part of the book follows his childhood in Ireland and crossing the Atlantic before coming to New York City. I enjoyed getting learn about New York through the years and that different populations were featured. There was love and drama, but I was not satisfied with the ending. Still a great read for descriptions of New York and adventure.
